Goodbye, Chase Auto!

Chase Auto is out of my life . . . FOREVER!

After far too long, we've been working through our major debt load and have, as of yesterday morning, paid off out van with Chase Auto.

The guy I talked to on the phone, to get our final payout total, was very nice.  I will not fault him for at least having a job.  But, as a whole, I hate Chase Auto!  I am glad they are out of our lives forever!

Okay, let me be clear on this: I signed for the debt, nobody put a gun to my head, and even in January 2011 when the repo man came to take it away because we were three months behind--we got it back two weeks later, and this blog post on vehicle reposession spells out our experiences with it--in a way we were thankful because it grounded us in the fact that we didn't want to play around with debt any longer.

Adios, Chase Auto!

Next time, I'll saving up and paying cash.  No more car loans for this family!

If you wedding is in 2014 or later, there are many resources available on planning your wedding--many are listed by clicking the wedding tab along the side of this blog to sort through them all.
